anyone heard of a new venue opening up as early as next week in the downtown area? maybe an old bar is changing clientele demographics...anyone got their ear to the ground on this?

Is Ralli's going to a Tranny format?

yeah, i heard a rumor that ralli's will be changing formats

yeah...rallis went gay about a month ago...wednesday thru saturday...though they may take wednesday and thursday back for live music cause the bar is tanking on those days as a gay venue...but shit...rallis went from $300-$600 nights to $4000 nights ont friday and saturday...thats why the district did the same thing a last year...the bois can spend the money...

but back to the initial post...i heard vaguely that there is going to be another bar hosting live music shortly in the downtown area...it might be rallis comin back or might be another vanue...the person i know isnt talking...

I'm not going to get my hopes up, it will probably just be another cock-rock bar that won't bring in any good touring bands.

"changing formats."

I'm using this as a euphemism from now on!

Someone should take over the old Spearmint Rhino. Stage upstairs and down.

Nothing else around there, though.

Those stages are kind of small....or so I've heard.

there's Thread:Space... haven't had a chance to attend/play yet, but i hear it's decent. good bands and such... odd though... apparently it's in some uptown business building(s)... very strange.

Death Convention Singers played there. Very strange indeed! It is in an office building complex (with 70s construction) on Marble just west of San Pedro. I climbed on the roof and got a few people high on hash... good times.

there was some stuff on myspace this week from Burque Burden about a new venue. they asked for demos and CDs but provided no other details. sounds like a way to get free merch to me!

I dont think it's for free merch. It's a bar that is trying something new, on friday nights. They are just working out details w/as certain local label!
